HARVEY — A 70-year-old Harvey woman was killed when someone fired a number of shots through her bedroom window as she prepared for bed, police said Wednesday.

``More than one`` shot was fired through the window of the home at 15223 Wood St. at about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, and one of the bullets struck Ruby Hughes in the head, according to Detective Denny Hinkle of the Harvey police.

Hughes, who lived with a son and a daughter, was found by her son who heard the shots, Hinkle said.

Police did not know if someone was shooting randomly or shooting at Hughes, Hinkle said. There were no suspects late Wednesday, he said.
